Even more interesting - why did they bring their “offering” to Peter?

Reading comprehension is not a valued commodity in lds I guess. Read what verse 2 says -

2* And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

It wasn't just Peters, but brought to all of them.

I don't know what LDS reading comprehension is, but they do value education. Ask Restornu if you like.

OK, so they "placed them at the feet" this is figurative language meaning "into the use of" or "at the disposal of" or do you think they literally placed the money at the Apostle's feet forcing them to bend down and pick it up?

Are you aware of Middle-Eastern custom?

I never said it was Peter's alone, as if it was his property. Peter spoke and only Peter spoke. Why?

Who managed the money? The Holy Ghost? Clearly, the Bible presents an organized Church with a hierarchy.

Don't dodge it. You can, if you understand Greek, see that this situation isn't just a drop off of some random offering. It could fit Restornu's interpretation. It could fit that of the Catholic's as well. That it might, it just might.

If admitting that is too tough to swallow, fine. Any objective reader will come to the same conclusions I have.
